Labeling
When the robot labels more efficiently
Herma has launched the 211 HC RC, the first robot-assisted labeling cell for wrap-around labeling. It labels around 20 products per minute and is therefore around 25 percent faster than a comparable semi-automatic labeling machine without the use of robotics, without any loss of concentration over a longer period of time, even in continuous production.
Another advantage in addition to the increase in performance: "By automating the entire labeling process, we significantly reduce the risk of human error associated with manual labeling tasks," says Gary Hopkins, the robotics specialist responsible at Herma. "This reduces the risk of product recalls." Another important compliance aspect is that the robotic labeling cell can be programmed to automatically comply with certain labeling regulations and standards. This means that all products are always labeled in accordance with legal requirements.
A wide range of possible configurations makes this labeling cell highly flexible for applying different types of labels and printing variable data in the form of barcodes, serial numbers and expiry dates. The 211 HC RC can also be optionally equipped with standard hot foil, thermal transfer and laser printers. Thanks to its simple scalability, it adapts quickly to future requirements and is therefore particularly future-proof. "With the increasing shortage of skilled labor and rising labor costs, integrating robots into machines is becoming a cost-effective solution to maintain or even increase productivity," emphasizes Gary Hopkins. "Herma is therefore increasingly focusing on robotics to offer our customers highly automated solutions that not only meet current requirements, but are also flexible enough to meet future challenges."
